Chapter 156 Animals that Follow the Herd

“Chief, what should we do now? Capture all four bison?”

This situation made Ye Jinghong undecided for a moment.

Having experienced the previous operation, they knew how tiring the journey back was. Before, they dragged two young bison and an adult bison, and they felt that they almost died of exhaustion on the way.

Now this was only the second time, and it was suddenly replaced by four adult bison.

They really can't imagine how tired they will be.

But they have been arrested, so you can let them go, and you are somewhat unwilling to do so.

Looking across the crowd, Zhou Xu could feel that everyone thought so.

In fact, he has a little bit of it.

Under this premise, he hoped to let his tribe use ox carts before autumn. Calculating the time, he had to speed up a bit.

"Capture them all!"

Thinking of this, while giving the order, Zhou Xu directly divided the skeleton soldiers into four groups to consume the physical strength of the four bison.

Compared with the previous time, this link this time will undoubtedly take more time.

After all, the physical strength of four adult bison is not that easy to consume.

Faced with this situation, Zhou Xu changed his mind and changed the configuration.

For the other three adult bison, he first sent five skeleton soldiers each to slowly consume their energy, and the remaining skeleton soldiers all swarmed towards one adult bison.

The purpose of this is to consume the physical strength of one of the adult bison faster and then allow it to enter the next stage first.

In this way, the time of each stage can be divided, which in disguise improves their efficiency and reduces their pressure.

After the target's physical strength is almost exhausted, there is nothing to say about the subsequent process.

This wave consumed more of their time.

Since they had taken enough rest before arriving at their destination, the time they discovered the bison herd was actually in the morning.

When the four adult bison were initially subdued, it was almost dark.

But they obviously can't rest like this.

The full rest before was just for the night rush now.

Four adult bison made their trip more tiring, but Zhou Xu’s psychological pressure was not great.

Because he had seen it with his own eyes before, the saber-toothed tiger killed a bison.

In other words, the opponent has obtained enough food and does not need to come out to hunt in a short time.

Without this threat, Zhou Xu is not particularly worried about the other beasts.

This time, when they returned to the grassland camp, it was midnight, but just like before, it was still the members of the patrol who discovered them and picked them up.

When I woke up, it was bright and clear outside the tent.

It wasn't that he woke up early, but that he slept all day and all night, and it was already the next morning.

After breakfast, Zhou Xu came to the cow farm unhurriedly.

The breeders of the Ministry of Agriculture who were responsible for domesticating the bison arrived one step ahead of him. At this time, baskets filled with fodder were already placed in front of the bison.

Needless to say, the three bison that were the first to be captured by them did not care about the existence of the keepers at all. As soon as the fodder was delivered, they couldn't wait to eat it. Such an effect is inseparable from the strategy Zhou Xu taught the breeders, which is not to let them eat too much and to keep them hungry for food at all times.

But what surprised the keepers was that after the three bison began to work hard, the other four bison also slowly walked towards the forage baskets placed in front of them.

The ability of the four new buffaloes to realize things so quickly was completely beyond the expectations of the keepers. Zhou Xu, who came from the side and happened to see this scene, had some ideas in his mind.

Cows are social animals, and most social animals have a herd mentality.

When I first came here, I was nervous and scared. I was wary of them. It was normal not to eat.

But after a period of time, the mood calmed down a little, and at the same time, the stomach began to feel hungry. When they saw the three similar people immersed in eating, they were easily inspired.

This is undoubtedly a good thing for Zhou Xu and the others.

Can greatly shorten their domestication time.

Among them, the breeder stood directly in front of the two little bisons, but the two little bisons still only focused on eating and didn't care about them at all.

Seeing this, Zhou Xu gave new instructions after breakfast.

Originally, the bison did not have lunch here. They only had one meal of forage in the morning and one in the evening. This was to keep them motivated to eat and facilitate their domestication.

But today, due to changes in the domestication plan, this meal was naturally added to them.

But this lunch is different from their original breakfast and dinner.

This lunch is for the keepers to hold the fodder with their hands and feed it to the bison!

To put it simply, it is to get closer to the bison and establish a certain degree of trust with them.

They had never done this before, so they felt really nervous.

For safety reasons, Zhou Xu asked them to feed the two young bison first, so that even if there was an unexpected situation, they could control it in time.

The whole process went much smoother than they expected.

The two little bison were still young, and after the initial period, their heartless nature was quickly exposed.

Looking at the fodder held by the keepers, they hesitated for a moment and then quickly started eating again. After all, they had not eaten enough in the morning.

During the period, the mother bison also came up, obviously wanting to take a bite, but due to the length of the rope, it could not get close at all.

But the keepers were not stupid. When they saw that the bison mother wanted to eat, they immediately brought a handful of fodder over and fed the bison mother.

As for the four newcomers, they are not able to do this at the moment. They hide in the distance and scream "moo" the whole time.

Although they can't understand the cow language, they can probably understand the meaning of the four bison. To put it bluntly, they are also hungry and want to eat, but they don't want to get close.

In this regard, the breeders simply ignored it. They now have a good grasp of their leader's domestication ideas.

After feeding them with hands, the distance between them and the three bison had been reduced invisibly.

After hand-feeding a few times, Zhou Xu signaled the keepers to start touching the bison during the feeding process, and then to touch each other without feeding.

When all of these are successfully accomplished, trust will be established.

And the bison can officially start their work training.

In this way, in the next period of time, Zhou Xu and the others were busy going to the camp to catch the bison, while the breeders were busy taming the bison, and their lives were passed. That's called being busy and stable.

Looking at their allies, the Centaurs, they are also very busy every day, but they are busy hunting hyenas!
